Announcing a £50K fund from TfL for air quality project on Petticoat Lane Market

The funding from TfL’s Healthy Streets Fund for Business will be matched by the Aldgate community. We are 1 of 5 successful applicants to win the full tranche of funding available. This fund will be used to purchase waste compactors, wheelie bins and an electric vehicle to manage waste around the market to a micro-consolidation site in order to reduce waste collection traffic and emissions in and around Petticoat Lane Market streets.

The long-term aspiration for this project is to reduce the rubbish on the street making collections more efficient and encourage traders and businesses to be more aware creating a more sustainable market environment.
